How to Play You Turn Me On (I'm a Radio) by Joni Mitchell on Harmonica

Today we're learning the harmonica introduction to Joni Mitchell's You Turn Me On (I'm a Radio). It's in the key of Eb so that's the harp you'll need if you want to play along to the original. Don't worry if you don't have a Eb harmonica*. You can follow the tabs using any key of a standard diatonic harmonica; you'll just be playing in a different key to the original.


The introduction is great for all levels so give it a go whatever level of player you are.


The harmonica tabs are on the video for you to follow. If you want the free, printable version of You Turn Me On (I'm a Radio) harmonica tabs, click here.


I had assumed that Joni Mitchell plays the harmonica on the song. On the original 1972 recording, it was actually Graham Nash (of Crosby, Stills and Nash and The Hollies) who performed the harmonica piece.
